Benazir, was hesitant when robotics classes first began. She wasn’t keen on making any project. Being in Class VIII at the time, she felt that creating a working model would demand time, money, and effort—something she wasn’t ready to invest.
However, the school principal insisted that her name be included in the project list and encouraged her to give it a try. In the beginning, Benazir showed very little interest. We often had to push her gently to start working on it.
But everything changed the day she presented her project. She explained it so confidently and clearly that the principal personally praised her. That moment became a turning point for her.
The project idea—to design a real-life model for easy segregation of wet and dry waste—was entirely hers. Initially, she was just going through the motions, treating it like a formality. But after attending a few science fairs and receiving appreciation, her confidence grew immensely.
Eventually, she refused to hand over the project back to us. She wanted to keep it and continue improving it herself—believing it had real-world potential.
Now, her dream is to take the model beyond the district level and present it at the national stage. And this time, she’s not doing it out of obligation—but out of true passion and belief in her own idea.
